Weathersealing, questions

These are just wonderful. I will go to Costa Rica next July and want to take an EM-1 and some standard, non-weathersealed lenses (Ply 9-18 and Oly 45,1,7 and 40-150 (cheap one). Do you think weathersealing really makes  a big difference in terms of lenses ? Of course the glass will be protected by a filter. But what can happen to a lens if it gets a little wet ? I understand that a body should be weatherproof but for the lens I cannot imagine what could happen in the mist/humidity. What do you think ? Is it really mandatory to bring weathersealed lenses ?

Kind regards,

Stefan
